** [[spoiler: The fact that she was a rejected design for the villain of a MagicalGirlWarrior anime also explains her costume design; Pseudo-Nazi Dominatrix is a somewhat cliche aesthetic for those villains, especially when she's TheDragon.]]

* The girly girl Moegi [[spoiler: sounding like a guy when the ears come off]] may be a subtle jab at the [[spoiler: high gender differences in yellow rangers. ''Especially'' [[ShesAManInJapan when considering the]] PowerRangers.]]

* In the end, the fact that [[spoiler: the show ended after 12 episodes and a clip show, seemingly meaning that the heroes failed in their quest to break free of Hatte Saburo's control, actually means that they succeeded. After all, failing to defeat their true enemy is something that's ''never'' happened in Super Sentai before (though it has happened in PowerRangers, as in ''Mighty Morphin'' and ''Turbo''). If they had gotten the show to continue, not only would that be bringing them ''more'' in line with the official Sentai series, but it wouldn't even really be winning since Toei would still be running the making of the show. The only way to ''really'' escape is for the show to end, leaving its fans to imagine the further adventures of the Akibarangers and thus making their future up for grabs.]]

* When Tyrannoranger and Dragonranger show up as the [[PowerRangers "Powerful Rangers"]] they act like total assholes. Now at first this seems like Japan making fun of America but then you realize that Geki and Burai have become teenagers with attitude!

* Of course Gosei Sentai Akibaranger was doomed to flop. The show took Dairanger's place in an era where Sentai was hitting a big decline starting from around Fiveman. The same decline that Ohranger was blamed for causing and the same one that Carranger allegedly save.

* Ancient Chinese has a custom whereby married woman must have their hairs tied up. Not sure if this is applicable to Japan but it does explain why [[spoiler: Yumeria transformed mode]] looked as such in Season 2.

** Which also explains Hakase's somewhat random mention of [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan Queen Hedrian]] during the credits - the closest we've gotten to a formal InMemoriam to MachikoSoga.

*** Because in the universe of Akibaranger, they're just DX Ranger Keys, the kind you'd get in a toy store, not the mythical "powered by one's spirit" kind that the Gokaigers use.

**This does raise a question for me though... If unofficial Ranger keys do not work, then why do non-Ranger keys (I.E. Metal Heroes) work? I don't know if that is the case with the toys, it's more of an in-universe question, but I feel it's valid...
